Robinson (6-foot-5, 332) won't turn 22 until October after leaving Auburn as a redshirt sophomore. He made 25 starts at left tackle, blocking out the sun for the nation's top rushing offense. A sensational athlete for his size, Robinson ran 4.92 at the Combine with a 9-foot-5 broad jump and did 32 bench-press reps despite vine-like 35-inch arms. A massive, powerful human who is ready to clear alleys in the pros, Robinson is a work in progress as a pass protector, but has every tool needed to succeed in that area. He could begin his NFL career at left guard with Jake Long sticking on the blindside and Rodger Saffold manning right tackle. Thu, May 8, 2014 08:26:00 PM

"A St. Louis contingent went to Auburn on Thursday to work out Robinson; no negatives surfaced," King writes, adding the team really likes Johnny Manziel, and could potentially take him at No. 13. The question is if Manziel will be there at No. 13. We think Robinson would likely play left guard, next to Jake Long, and then move to the edge to take over Long's spot at a later date.

Auburn's Greg Robinson received 11 votes out of 18 as the draft's best OL in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's poll of NFL scouts.

One scout called Robinson "bust proof." "He's so heavy-handed and so athletic, I think he's going to be the next Orlando Pace," said an executive in personnel for an AFC team. "He's got a chance to be a Hall of Famer some day." Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff, reported to have heavy interest in Robinson, was quoted in the story: "Greg is a massive man with top-notch athleticism for the position. He's got a lot of natural ability with the arrow definitely pointing up." Robinson won the voting with 80 points, followed by Jake Matthews (76), Taylor Lewan (48), Zack Martin (43), and Cyrus Kouandjio fifth (11). "He's really fundamentally (sound) with his feet but we have not got his hands where I want them yet," said J.B. Grimes, Robinson's line coach in 2013. "And if there is one thing we have got to fix — if I had a chance to do that — it would definitely be his hands, especially in pass protection." Sat, May 3, 2014 12:02:00 AM

The Falcons, according to CBS' Jason La Canfora, could be targeting Auburn OT Greg Robinson, as opposed to Jadeveon Clowney, if they trade for the No. 1 overall pick.

We aren't buying what La Canfora is selling, here. Not that Atlanta doesn't need an OT -- in fact, they probably need two of them. But to surrender what Houston would demand to move to No. 1 and take Robinson as opposed to standing pat at No. 6 and tabbing Jake Matthews or Taylor Lewan would be a foolish. In addition, if Robinson is the Falcons' target, they'd be better off trading with St. Louis at No. 2 after Houston grabs Clowney. It'd be cheaper. Thu, May 1, 2014 10:46:00 PM
